PICTURE - MacBook Pro Screen Has Bright Line Across Midde.

I just noticed this across the middle of my MBP screen whenever I have a dark background. These pixels can't seem to go black.
Has anyone ever heard or seen something like this?

This is not normal. You should contact apple care so that they can take care. Maybe you have the time to post this issue to the thread about the bad quality of the mbp displays so that the others can compare and maby apple aknowledges the quality of this issue. Here's the link.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices. That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.
Ciao.

I have tried using the command-opt-erase keys, nothing. please help!!

Restart the MacBook Pro. To do this, press Control, Command and Eject keys, or hold the Power button until the Mac turns off

My 2008 MacBook Pro screen has now got interference across the whole screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable interference from bad reception. What is the problem here?

My 2008 MacBook Pro has interference across the full screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable TV screen with bad reception. Any idea of what the problem might be?

Took it to the Apple Store, they determined it's my screen that's messed up (they connected to another monitor, and since the lines didn't mirror onto the monitor it couldn't have been my GPU making the lines but rather the screen itself), so not connected to my wifi issue or a potential logic board issue, so I'm going to get my screen, wifi card, and trackpad (it's been failing too but that wasn't urgent at all) replaced for $330 using their flat-rate repair service which is much better than I imagined in terms of price.

Macbook pro screen flickering brightness/black screen?

on saturday night I was using my MacBook pro and drinking water when my friend made me laugh so I accidentally spit like 5 drops of water onto my macbook screen. the drops leaking down into the base, not exactly the keyboard but just right under the screen where it would drip down. a instantly got a towel and dried it off but the macbooks screen statted flickering off and on. then it went permanently black but it seemed like it was still on. I tried to hold down the power button and it would make all the on and off noises just the screen wouldn't work. it would maybe flash for a second but then just go dark. I made the mistake of not turning it completely off when it first happened because I didn't know what to do but after maybe 10 minutes I turned it off and opened it up and kept it upside down the whole night to let the water come out if there was any. the next day around 12pm I turned it on and everything was working completely fine. no problems or signs that eer spit the water. then the next day (Monday) half way thru the day I was watching Netflix and I noticed every 5 minutes or so the screen would dim no matter what brightness I had it on and after a couple seconds it would go back to regular brightness. after like an hour it started doing that more frequently and it gave a black screen until I moved the cursor. I paniced and shut it off for the rest of day thinking it would be better the next day. well the next day (today) I turned it on and it was even worse. it's almost like the screen is having spaz attacks every 2 minutes. it'll go dim or bright randomly and then go black until I move the cursor and when it gowa dim there's these weird bright lights things coming from the bottom of the screen. but other then that the macbook works completely fine. iit's still usable, and the screen spasms are annoying but I could live with them. but first I want to make sure it's not going to get worse and worse everyday and just permantly die soon. im only 15 and Ive been dreading telling my parents what happened but if i have to replace something I have to tell them. I've tried researching what I have to replace but no one has my exact symptoms. I think I'd either have to replace the Lcd (whatever that is??) or the inverter. someone please help, thank you!!

Macbook Pro screen has dim light beams

On boot up, my Macook Pro's screen appears to have light beams shinning up from the bottom .. as if every other light beam is off causing the overall screen brightness to be dimmer than normal. This only happens about every third boot up so I doubt it is

17" MacBook Pro Screen - Weird Color Lines

Hey Guys,
Well I am having a problem with my 2 year old MacBook Pro. I am getting what seems to be a loose connection somewhere inside the laptop or the display case. Now since I don't have warranty on it anymore and I am good at taking things apart, I decided to go on to ifixit.com and take it apart and hope that this would be a easy fix.
Well it wasn't sadly. I some how have to be wrong I guess about it being loose even though if I move the screen it some times goes away. I took everything apart and can not find anything wrong.
I did notice that since the screen has a total of 4 wires that connect to the logic board; the main display, backlight, airport cables, and some other cable that I don' know about. But when I unplug the main feed and the backlight is the only thing on, the problem is gone but as soon as I plug the main feed back in, its back. I checked everything and just couldn't find out what is wrong. Nothing seems to be loose or anything.
I don't have the money to order a new screen so I really really need your help here guys.
Also real quick before anyone asks, yes when I take a screen shot everything is normal so I know for a fact that its not the software. It is in fact the main screen.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Eric
Edit: Also say if I do buy a new screen, which really can't happen cause I have no money, will I be able to upgrade the screen to a new LED screen with better resolution?

I have same problem, but on a 15,4" Macbook Pro... I allso dont have the garanty any more... but no loose connection.. Sometimes when I reboot the machine it is there, and then it is gone again. Sometimes after few min. or days.
But there is nok problem with a external screen. And if I take a screenshot and mail it to my self, and tjek the mail on a other machine, the sceenshot looks fine, so I think it is a loose connection, but where ?!
Hop Apple Geeks prohaps can help ?

My 2013 15" retina macbook pro screen has a yellow tint, should i ask for a replacement?

So yesterday i got my retina macbook pro 15 " and right away i noticed my worst fear ( since i previously had read some similar stories) my screen has a noticeable yellow tint specially on white tones, websites have a "newspaper look " to them, since i bought this computer because im starting web design in university in a couple of months i would say i'm pretty much ******, people say i shoud just calibrate it, but most people dont calibrate their screen, so it would be a mess, my work would look good on my computer but ****** on other's people computer
I'm very surprised because i thought this issue only affected the initial batch of retina macbook pros, but i checked my serial online and my computer was made in January 2013 so its quite new, the panel is a Samsung "LSN154YL01001.
I have read that usually LG panels don't suffer as much from the yellow tint but they suffered from Image retention, is it stil like this? what do you think i should do should i keep this computer with the samsung screen or get apple to give me a new one hopefully with a LG panel or at least a samsung without yellow tint

Actually MOST People that work in all parts of the Design field DO Calibrate their screens. It is the only way to make sure what you are looking at on your computer screen will be the same on other design professionals screens and to the general public.
Wherever you got the notion that Design professionals and or design schools of all types don't calibrate their screens is completely incorrect.
So it is up to you whether you calibrate or not and or to return that Retina for one that has a better color balanced screen from the start. Along with that the new unit you get may have other problems as the Retina models are plagued with random problems. The screens only be one of them.

My Macbook Pro screen has failed. [2007] part of the bad group of screens. What are my options here?

Hello,
Would appreciate any suggestions regarding replacement of my Macbook Pro 4.1 screen.
It has become blurred and I am told Apple no longer supplys parts for this model.
Thank you

OK, so I think I solved my issue. It was caused by the system not going to sleep (The screensaver thing was a dead end).
When I ran the console app pmset, I got something like this:
➜ ~ pmset -g assertions
12-06-29 9:11:06 AM EDT
Assertion status system-wide:
   PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep             0

   ApplePushServiceTask                    0
The process that was causing PreventSystemSleep to be 1 was "org.cups.cupsd" which is the print service. So I checked all my printers, one of them was "In Use". When I opened it, there weren't any jobs listed. I went through the options and selected Jobs > Show Everyone's Jobs and sure enough there was a job there. I deleted it and everything seems to work now.
The odd thing is that print job was probably from my other account which didn't seem to have this screen problem. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone out there....

MacBook Pro screen has a strange oily looking spot

I recently bought a MacBook Pro laptop sometime in April. I'm not sure exactly what model it is, but it has the Thunderbolt port and a backlit keyboard. It is a thirteen inch screen. I recently noticed something strange - The laptop was developing an odd spot in the middle of the screen, similar to what you might see when you press your finger on it. After a couple days, I noticed that it had spread, and there was now an oily looking spot, as if there was oil on the screen, but it was behind the display. It's not as noticeable when the screen is lit up, but it stands out like a sore thumb when the screen is off. I can't think of anything that would have caused this except that I recently repaired the screen at iResQ, and I also carry it back and forth to school with me every day. When it is in my backpack, it is inside a plastic hard shelled outer case and a soft carrying case. I'm not sure what caused this, but any help in fixing it would be greatly appreciated!
tl;dr MBP screen has weird oily spot/pressure marks.

If the company that did the repair work was an authorized Apple service provider and the work they did was not necessitated by accidental damage to the computer, your warranty and AppleCare coverage may still be in effect. If they aren't an authorized service provider, the warranty and AppleCare are gone, and if the work they did was necessitated by damage that you did to the machine, the warranty and AppleCare may be gone even if they are an authorized provider. The link tool has provided above to check on your warranty coverage won't tell you if your warranty has been voided unless Apple has already made that detemination in an inspection of the machine. If Apple hasn't seen it yet, they may decide you've voided the warranty, overruling what the web link has told you iin the absence of concrete information.
My guess is that you are among those who imagine a hard plastic shell protects your MBP a whole lot better than it does. Take the shell off your machine's display and lay it concave-side-down on a tabletop, then press gently on the center of it with a fingertip. It's not very stiff at all, is it? Well, that's all the stiffness it adds to your display back panel, which is none too stiff itself (though much more so than the plastic wrapper is). And a padded carrying case adds no stiffness at all. So the middle of your MBP's display has essentially no protection against pressure or impacts when it's in your backpack, and if you stuff the backpack full of other junk in such a way that pressure is applied to the back of your display, you may crush the center of the LCD panel. I suspect that's exactly what has happened to cause your blotch, and if so, that won't be covered even if you still have a warranty.

Macbook Pro screen showing green line and blacks out all the time

My macbook pro have been recently showing green horixontal line all over the screen at times , and it goes away after restarting couple of times, after i log in the screen black outs after couple of minutes and sometimes the screen act weird

Try a restore. If it still does it, it's most likely a hardware issue--like your logic board or screen.

Macbook pro screen has black and white squares

I have an older 2007 15" MacBook Pro. I turned it on one day and, although the computer made the same sounds it always does when it is booting up, the screen showed these very depressing black and white squares, and the rest of the pixes around these blocks (half black, half white) were very scrambled. A few days later the computer booted up completely normally, but now it is back to the crazy screen.
Does anyone know what this problem may be? I am currently in Thailand and am wondering if someone can help me figure out what problem this most likely is so I can decide how much an appropriate repair should cost.
Thanks so much!

Hi if the device is a Macbook pro 15 inch mid 2010 model then there might be a chance of replacement of MLB for NVDIA graphic problem, please contact an apple authorised service provider for more details about this issue and you may get a free replacement programme for this MLB also all the best.....
